Sentonbehalfofname Error

[Matt Akl]

I am using a custom form to send a request to an addressee
and to a public folder - the public folder has an email
entry. My form is delivered to both successfully. When the
addressee responds, I receive the responce properly. The
problem occurs when that same addressee opens the form of
the item in the public folder and tries to respond;
Outlook displays the error: "You do not have permission to
send the item on behalf of the specified user." I am not
using this property. I get this message just as well if I
set it to "" (empty string) or to the current user. I am
using VBScript on Outlook 2000. Any help will be greatly
appreciated.

What do you see if you display the From field on the response from the public folder? My guess is that it will show the public folder. The sender will need to change that before sending, unless you want to grant Send As permission for the folder.

Thanks for the reply Sue. I could not see the responce
because of the error; no responce is sent. I did,
however, think of that and set the SentOnBehalfOfName
property to the current user. No luck there either.
I was able to work around this by creating a new item of
the same class and copying all the userproperties to the
new item before sending it. Thanks again,
Matt
